Composition and Chemical Properties of R-410A
R-410A is a zeotropic HFC blend consisting of two components:
-
R-32 (Difluoromethane): 50%
-
R-125 (Pentafluoroethane): 50%
This balanced 50/50 mixture results in a refrigerant with excellent thermodynamic properties, though it does exhibit slight glide and must be charged in the liquid phase to ensure consistent composition.
Key Properties of Klea R-410A:
-
Boiling Point: -48.5°C
-
Global Warming Potential (GWP): ~2088
-
Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP): 0
-
Cylinder Size: 11.3 kg
-
Required Lubricant: Polyolester (POE) oil
Common Applications of Klea R-410A Freon
Klea R-410A in the 11.3 kg format is commonly used in a wide variety of air conditioning and heat pump systems, particularly those designed for high-efficiency performance. Key applications include:
-
Residential split air conditioners and heat pumps
-
Commercial rooftop units and packaged AC systems
-
Ductless mini-split systems
-
Chillers and light commercial HVAC systems
Because of its higher pressure, R-410A systems are specifically engineered to handle the increased operating demands compared to older refrigerants like R-22.
Environmental and Regulatory Aspects
While Klea R-410A has zero ozone depletion potential, it does have a moderate-to-high GWP, leading to growing regulatory pressure on its use. Under the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol, countries are gradually phasing down high-GWP HFCs such as R-410A.
Several regions, including the European Union and California (U.S.), are enforcing strict rules on the installation of new equipment using R-410A, pushing the industry toward alternatives like:
-
R-32 (lower GWP, high efficiency)
-
R-454B (mildly flammable, low-GWP substitute)
-
R-290 (Propane) and R-744 (CO₂) in selected applications
However, Klea R-410A remains approved and widely used for service, maintenance, and replacement in existing systems.
Advantages of Klea R-410A Refrigerant 11.3Kg
The 11.3 kg Klea R-410A cylinder offers a range of benefits for HVAC professionals and facility operators:
-
High cooling efficiency and system performance
-
Zero ODP – environmentally safer than older refrigerants
-
Clean and consistent quality from Klea’s manufacturing standards
-
Compact and easy-to-handle 11.3 kg cylinder size
-
Ideal for residential and light commercial system servicing
This makes it a practical choice for service calls, installations, and stocking for ongoing HVAC maintenance.
Conclusion: Is Klea R-410A Still a Good Choice?
Klea R-410A Refrigerant in the 11.3 kg Freon cylinder remains one of the most dependable and widely used refrigerants in modern HVAC systems. While regulatory changes are encouraging a gradual shift to lower-GWP alternatives, R-410A continues to deliver excellent cooling performance, reliability, and safety in thousands of systems worldwide. For existing units and retrofit projects, the 11.3 kg Klea R-410A package offers a convenient, cost-effective solution for keeping air conditioning systems running at peak efficiency.
